Answer: the distance of the boat from the foot of the lighthouse is 290.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The right angle triangle ABC representing the scenario is shown in the attached photo.

Angle A is alternate to the angle of depression, hence, they are the same.

The height of the lighthouse represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle. The distance, x of the boat from the foot of the lighthouse represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

To determine x, we would apply

the tangent trigonometric ratio.

Tan θ, = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,

Tan 11.1 = 57/x

x = 57/Tan 11.1 = 57/0.1962

x = 290.5 feet to the nearest tenth.

$\textbf{Let's see if the sequence is Arithmetic or Geometric :}$

$\textsf{If the difference between successive terms is }$ $\textsf{equal then, the terms are in AP}$

$\sf{ \dfrac{14}{3}- \dfrac{13}{3} = \dfrac{1}{3}}$

$\sf{ {5}{}- \dfrac{14}{3} = \dfrac{15-14}{3} =\dfrac{1}{3}}$

A microscope was originally priced at $100 but went on sale for 10% off. If Adele bought the microscope and paid 10% sales tax,

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

$99

Step-by-step explanation:

First, it was on sale for 10% off. 10% = 0.1 = 1/10. 1/10 of 100 is 10, so we subtract 10 (because 10% off) to get $90. Then, the sales tax, which we add, is 10%. 1/10 of 90 is 9, so we add 9 to 90 to get our total to be $99
